PARNELL'S VIEWS.
What VIII Happen if Coercion suc-
ceeds.

NEW YORK, April S.-Today's Tribune
contains an interview with Parnell. In ans
wer to the question, what do you think will
happen in Ireland if the coercion bill passes,"
Parnell replied:
81 hope its evil designs will be foiled.
Hitherto the coercion act has always urged
landlords to evict, and evictions unfortu-
nately have always brought crime in their
train. The reason last winter was so quiet,
was because the landlords gave concessions.
The moment my bill was thrown out the
Cork landlords held a meeting, and up rose
Fitzgerald, who moved the rejection of my
bill in the Commons, and urged them to re-
duce their rents so as to prove that my bill
was not needed. The cue of the Tories then
was to govern Ireland, as they vaunted they
could at the general election, without coer-
cion and without home rule. In order to
falsify Gladstone's prophecy the government
supplemented the voluntary action of the
Cork landlords by bringing pressure to bear
on refractory rack renters through the agen-
cy OF the county court Judge, Gen. Butler
and Capt Plunkett. When you add to these
eXertions the action of Mr. Dillon and Mr.
OBrien in working the plan of campaign,
the influence of which extended to estates
far beyond the radius of those on which it
was adopted, you will see what powerful
machinery there was in operation to bring
down rents. to check evictions and to pre-
vent crime.
''Now the landlords and the government
are on another tack. Altogether they have
grown desperate and are fighting for their
existence. The government is preparing
wildly to coerce and the landlords to evict.
Under ordinary circumstances such combi-
nation would inevitably produce an out
break of crime; but have evidence that in
this case the Irish people will resist the at
tempt Of the government and landlords tc
goad them into violence"
Being asked il an outbreak of crime would
not have an unfortunate effect upon English
opinion, Mr. Parnell replied:
Eyes, yes, it would be most unfortunate
Crime would shock and revolt English opin-
ion and postpone home rule some time per-
haps too long, perhaps till Gladstones polit-
ical life is over This is the calculation of
these miserable politicians who formed this
villainous plot against the. liberties and hap
piness of nation for the sake of keeping
themselves in Office for a few years. | be-
lieve. however, that our people will, as 1
said in my speech the other night, hearken
to Mr.. Gladstone's voice, when he pointed
out to them how powerfully the reaceable
state Of Ireland had enabled him ana the
Liberal party to maintain their strong stand
against coercion"

The Meaning Of the Firing of the
NIoilant

ST. JOHN, N. b., April S.-The action OF
the Dominion cruiser Vigilant in giving
chase off Beaver Harbor, Wednesday, to an
American fisherman in search of bait, is
considered here to be convincing proof that
the Canadian government does not intend to
relax any Of the provisions Of the treaty of
1918, but that it will enforce all its sections
with as great stringency as last season. 1t
was generally believed among Canadian fish
ermen. that the section of the treaty relating
to the sale of bait would not be enforced this
year, but since Friday last their minds have
been disabused of this idea.
A Canadian fisherman stated that there
has been good deal of bait purchased from
the Bay of Fundy fleet during the winter.
The Bank fishermen so to Eastport and re-
main there, while the Quoddy boats, with
licenses to touch and trade, proceed to the
Canadian fleet and prepare the bait The
fishermen who sell the bait know for what
purpose it is to be used. but as they wish to
fishing schooner which the cruiser
Vigilant chased was a vessel of about
ninety tons and hailed from Eastport. Her
name is not yet known. She had come out
OF Black Harbor about the same time that
the cutter emerged from Beaver Harbor.
She was heading towards the fleet and was
lowering her sails when the captain of the
fishermen observed the cruiser bearing down
upon him. The Vigilant was then about Six
miles distant. but as the wind was free from
the southeast, she was rapidly nearing her
quarry. Without waiting to purchase bait,
or even inquire the price of it, the fisherman
set all sail, and struck out for Eastpert. The
cruiser kept up the chase past Head Harbor
and well up Quoddy river before she aban-
doned it.
The Vigilant. which was receiving sup
plies here, sailed for her cruising ground last
night. Captain Mclean says he Is deter
mined to make prisoners Of American fisher
mel men who violate treaty obligations, so that
the fishermen have only themselves to blame
If they should be captured.
1t is reported that the General Middleton
which was taken out of commission, is
again to be pressed into the service as fish
cry cruiser.
